oh how i long for an A-4 snake with virzi. I hope to have one at some point in my lifetime. Mandolin world heaquarters had a near mint A2Z that was super clean. i almost pulled the trigger but refinanced my house instead (gotta be smart with my $$ sometimes!).

There is an A-4 snake on ebay right now:
